Luke Bryan, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney make FORBES list of the HIGHEST PAID celebs
Forbes magazine released its annual list of the Top 100 Highest-Paid Celebrities on Monday —and a handful of country stars made the cut.
#15: Garth Brooks, $70 million
#26: Kenny Chesney, $56 million
#37: Luke Bryan, $53 million
#47: Toby Keith, $47.5 million
#75: Jason Aldean, $36.5 million
But none of them came close to Forbes‘ top earner, country-turned-pop star Taylor Swift, who grossed an estimated $170 million from her massive 1989 World Tour and endorsements from Diet Coke, Keds and Apple.
Garth, the top earner in the country genre, netted the majority of his $70 million from his ongoing World Tour, while Kenny collected his millions from his stadium tours, endorsements from Corona and Costa and his own Blue Chair Rum.
Boxer Floyd Mayweather claims the No. 1 spot this year with a whopping $285 million.
